WTF, guys? I thought you were better than this

I enjoy /r/asksience, politics, europe, fuuu, adviceanimals and many more. I believe reddit is a good source of entertainment, news, discussions and ideas. I have absolutely no problem with any of their subreddits. If there's subreddits i don't like, i just don't go there.

They forgot to mention /r/trees in the list, lol.

I think they have banned a shitload of subreddits which they deemed to have inappropriate content but seeing as it's a community driven and community content produced website, it's no wonder they'll pop up again.

For the record the minimum prefectural age of consent is 16, and is on average 17. There's been a lot of talk about increasing the federal MAOC to 17 by the recently formed PLF party, and it's got support among members of the DPJ.

Back to Reddit and child porn, illegal content and the "Aggregate Website" excuse. It's pathetic. Moot manages to keep illegal content off of 4chan with a team of volunteers and the website has been losing him a large amount of money for 10 years. Reddit has like what, 40-50 paid staff and makes a good amount of money off of adds? It's inexcusable, and that "Aggregate Website" crap is semantics and you know it.

for every 1 that can and does turn away from that kind of shit there are 12 that don't and you're responsable for them too just 'cause you knew better and did nothing about it.

if one of those 12 end up jacking up your soon to be daughter what then?. it'll be your wake up call?. nope, it'll be to late.

but overall, the fuck is wrong with all of these people thinking they can live in their own buble, not give a shit about anything arround them and still end up fine; them or/and their loved ones.

... This is a serious post? I enjoy the term "borderline" illegal content. So it is legal? Rally against the government for allowing such unjust things then, not the companies abiding by the law.

It would take me the better part of 30 minutes to reply to that shitstorm of a post, I'm not going to waste my time and I have Cal in 15 minutes.

Try to allow less ridiculous bias and generalizations like "People are allowing Child Pornography" ... No one has said anything along the lines of allowing CP content on Reddit. But I guess over arching generalizations are the main stay of a bad poster.





Can you possibly post any of this "illegal" content that Reddit seems to be allowing? I mean apparently Reddit is a bastion of child porn. The answer will most likely be no, because they do actively close illegal portions of their site because they would get fined if they did not. Unless you can provide data to back your claims, stop making them.





What does this post even mean? You try to drag away any personalization by saying "it's not about you" and then add "what if it was you!". For every one there is twelve? Another random generalization by someone talking about something he knows nothing about?

The fuck is wrong with all of these people thinking they can live in their own buble, not give a shit about anything around them and still end up spouting total bullshit.

Reddit does not endorse CP, it does not allow CP and closes it whenever it is brought up or found, why is this even a debate? There is nothing "illegal" on Reddit that I've ever seen, nor has anyone ever presented. Provide proof or gtfo with your rash claims of the devil at work.

Again if you can provide proof that CP or illegal content is on Reddit then please provide said proof. Tired of hearing wolf and finding nothing.

Other forums are explicitly devoted to filming sexual assaults and sharing them on reddit as pornography for other users. These include:

I hope my mother never hears about this controversy. She is still frightened about my playing online games, what with all the predators around. If she discovers that I visit reddit, the internet's bastion of child porn, she might have to take drastic measures. :o

All this tells me is that Reddit's moderation staff is lazy, freedom of speech isn't the bloody principle that they should be exercising or concerning themselves with if they do take it for granted, any discussion should have guide lines and simple principles established by the parties if it's to have any goal. If you are providing a domain for people to do things on, while the views of the posters do not represent the views of the moderators or staff, they are still responsible to police their own web space for their own interests. This idea that if we uphold freedom of speech then any opinion is valid and untouchable is just bull shit, slander, lying, purposefully offensive, or obscene material all have their proportional consequences and no one is free from that personal responsibility regardless of freedom of speech. Freedom comes with bloody responsibility.

Exactly, it's not about me just like it's not about you or your ethics or points of view.

Chances are someone will be jerking off in their bedroom thinking about your daughter, who's colleague she is. Or jerking off to the pictures she sent to her crush. Or they might rape your daughter even though they didn't see one damn picture of her or other 12 year olds. So what the heck are you trying to achieve by forbidding the showing of pictures? Decrease criminality? Decrease the chance someone will bone your daughter? Because there's a major flaw in your logic if that's the case.

Hey, you are free to get off your moral highground and try to accept the world as it is. I'd address your "criticisms" even though you've failed to give any arguments in defense of your position.

• Sex is no big deal, teenagers have sex all around the globe both with other teenagers and with adults. No one cares about "justification" as long as it's legal (either above the age of consent or both parties are underage).
  
• You don't have to justify it, you are free to do anything you want in the privacy of your home.
  
• Some people in the US tend to forget that the things are often done differently in other countries. When someone starts to argue that having sex is harmful for everyone below 18 years (because it's the age of consent in place where they live) showing them that there developed countries where the age of consent is much lower seems to be a good counterargument.
  
• In Japan indeed the age of consent is different in different prefectures, only the minimum is 13. But then there is Spain for example, where it's 13 in the whole country and there are a lot of countries where it's 14.
  
• There is a specific thread called "What is rape?", discussing it here would be complete off topic.
  
• You don't have to justify posting "borderline illegal" material anyhow, it's borderline for a reason.
  
• People who mix up CP and jailbait and then go on a moral crusade are indeed zealots, no offense, that's simply how it is.
  
• The only mention of the word "slut" was some guy saying "child porn is something far more brutal than teen girls taking slutty pictures of themselves." While I myself won't use the word "slutty" to describe these images, it's still far away from actually calling these teenagers sluts.
  
• Privately owned websites are free to have any sort of moderation policy as long as the content that is illegal in the country where the website hosted and/or registered is removed within a legally specified time after they receive a formal complaint about it.
  
• Well, I think the argument is actually pretty good. Both wanking material and freezed peaches are completely OK, so banning either of them would be pretty ridiculous.
